RELATED APPLICATIONS

This application claims benefit of priority of Japanese Application No. 2013-219374, filed Oct. 22, 2013, and Japanese Application No. 2014-159601, filed Aug. 5, 2014, said applications being hereby fully incorporated herein by reference.

BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION

The present invention relates to an armature, a winding-wire winding method of an armature, and a DC motor.

An armature of a DC motor described in Japanese Patent Laid-Open Publication No. 2010-98927 has a plurality of teeth aligned in a circumferential direction of an armature core. Each of the teeth has a pair of branch portions formed while branching in a bifurcated manner. A winding wire of concentrated winding is provided at a base end portion of each of the teeth. A winding wire of distributed winding is provided between the branch portions of the mutually adjacent teeth. As a result, an amount of a copper wire used in the windings can be reduced, and moreover, a DC motor with less cogging is realized.

Moreover, in the armature, a commutator juxtaposed with the armature core is provided. In the commutator, segments in the same number as the number of slots are provided. A short-circuit wire connecting the plurality of segments in an electrical conduction state is hooked and connected to a riser provided in each segment in order to make the corresponding plurality of segments at the same potential. Moreover, a winding wire wound around each of the teeth is hooked and connected to the riser.

SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION

The number of segments increases as the number of winding wires increases. In this case, a width of each segment in the circumferential direction becomes short. That is, a distance between the risers of the adjacent segments becomes short. Thus, if the risers, on which a plurality of winding wires are hooked in addition to the short-circuit wires, are adjacent to each other, its insulation cannot be ensured easily.

Thus, in order to ensure insulation between the risers of the adjacent segments, the width of the segment in the circumferential direction can be made longer. In this case, a diameter of the commutator becomes large, which results in an increase in a size of the armature and hence, the size of the DC motor. Thus, prolongation of the width of the segment in the circumferential direction has limitation.

When one of a start end part and a terminal end part of the short-circuit wire and a winding end part of the winding wire are to be connected to the riser of the segment, the start end part and the terminal end part of the short-circuit wire are hooked on the riser of the segment. After that, the winding end part of the winding wire is hooked on the riser of the segment, and a winding work of the winding wire is performed.

Therefore, the winding end part of the winding wire might be hooked on the riser of the same segment on which the start end part or the terminal end part of the short-circuit wire is hooked. When the winding end part of the winding wire is hooked on the riser of the segment, there is a concern that a hooked part of the start end part or the terminal end part of the short-circuit wire previously hooked is loosened by the hooking. Therefore, when one of the start end part and the terminal end part of the short-circuit wire and the winding end part of the winding wire are joined and connected by fusing or the like, there is a concern that the short-circuit wire cannot be connected with accuracy.

Particularly, there is a problem in a DC motor in which the number of winding wires, the number of segments, and the number of magnetic poles are large and there are many short-circuit wires, accordingly.

Moreover, as the number of the winding wires and the number of segments connecting the winding wires increase, the distance between the risers of the adjacent segments becomes short. In this case, when the winding end part of the winding wire is to be wound and stopped at the riser of the segment, the risers of the adjacent segments present an obstacle. Thus, an easy and accurate winding work cannot be performed in a short time.

A first object of the present invention is to provide an armature, a winding-wire winding method of an armature, and a DC motor which can ensure insulation between the adjacent risers without enlarging the diameter of the commutator.

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENTS

(First Embodiment)

A first embodiment embodying the present invention will be described below by referring to FIGS. 1 to 11.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, a DC motor 1 includes a stator 2 and an armature 3 arranged inside the stator 2.

(Stator 2)

On an inner circumferential surface of a substantially cylindrical yoke housing 2 a constituting the stator 2, three first permanent magnets MG1 and three second permanent magnets MG2 as magnetic poles are fastened alternately so as to have an equal pitch (60° interval in this embodiment) in a circumferential direction.

The three first permanent magnets MG1 are magnetized in a radial direction so that an inside in the radial direction is an N-pole and an outside in the radial direction is an S-pole. On the other hand, the three second permanent magnets MG2 are magnetized in the radial direction so that the inside in the radial direction is the S-pole and the outside in the radial direction is the N-pole.

Therefore, in the stator 2, the three first permanent magnets MG1 are arranged at an interval of 120°, sandwiching the second permanent magnets MG2, respectively. In other words, the three second permanent magnets MG2 are arranged at a pitch of 120°, sandwiching the first permanent magnets MG1, respectively. The DC motor 1 has the number of magnetic poles of “6” by alternately arranging the three first permanent magnets MG1 and the three second permanent magnets MG2 in the circumferential direction. That is, the number of pole pairs is“3”.

(Armature 3)

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the armature 3 includes a rotating shaft 4, the substantially cylindrical commutator 5 fixed to the rotating shaft 4, and an armature core 6 similarly fixed to the rotating shaft 4. This armature 3 has the rotating shaft 4 pivotally supported by the stator 2 and is supported rotatably with respect to the stator 2. The commutator 5 and the armature core 6 are both fixed to the rotating shaft 4 and are integrally rotated with rotation of the rotating shaft 4.

(Commutator 5)

As illustrated in FIG. 1, the commutator 5 has a cylindrical holding member 5 a made of an insulating resin material fastened to the rotating shaft 4, and 24 segments S are arranged in a state spaced away from each other in order in a clockwise direction in a circumferential direction of an outer circumferential surface of the holding member 5 a.

Here, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the 24 segments S are hereinafter referred to as the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 in order to specify each of them, respectively. Then, as illustrated in FIG. 2, the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are arranged in the state spaced away from each other in order in the clockwise direction on the outer circumferential surface of the holding member 5 a. Therefore, the 24 first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are arranged so as to have an equal pitch (15° interval) in the circumferential direction.

As indicated by a two-dot chain line in FIG. 1, a positive-pole brush B1 and a negative-pole brush B2 are arranged on the outer circumference of the commutator 5, capable of sliding contact with the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24. The anode-side brush B1 and the cathode-side brush B2 are arranged at positions faced with each other by 180° in the circumferential direction, and the anode-side brush B1 is arranged at a position corresponding to a center position in the circumferential direction of the first permanent magnets MG1 and the cathode-side brush B2 is arranged at a position corresponding to a center position in the circumferential direction of the second permanent magnets MG2. To the armature 3, an electric current is supplied through the anode-side brush B1 and the cathode-side brush B2.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, in the commutator 5, the segments S (S1 to S24) arranged at the same angular interval as the angular interval at which the magnetic poles of the same pole in the stator 2 are arranged are short-circuited by a short-circuit wire. That is, the N-pole first permanent magnets MG1 in the stator 2 are arranged at the 120° interval. Thus, the three segments S arranged at the 120° interval form one set, which is short-circuited by corresponding first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8, respectively, and have the same potential.

As illustrated in FIG. 3, each of a set of the first, seventeenth, and ninth segments S1, S17, and S9 is short-circuited by a first short-circuit wire L1 and has the same potential.

Moreover, each of a set of the tenth, second, and eighteenth segments S10, S2, and S18 is short-circuited by a second short-circuit wire L2 and has the same potential.

The number of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 is set so as to become twice the number of the 12 teeth T.

As illustrated in FIG. 1, at a distal end portion of each of the teeth T, a first branch portion Ta branching in the clockwise direction in the circumferential direction and extended outward in the radial direction and a second branch portion Tb branching in a counterclockwise direction in the circumferential direction and extended outward in the radial direction are provided. By forming a pair of the bifurcated first and second branch portions Ta and Tb on each of the teeth T, 24 slots SL are formed on the armature core 6. In each of the teeth T, a portion on a side of a base end portion which is an inner side in the radial direction of each pair of the first and second branch portions Ta and Tb is referred to as an inner winding portion Tc.

Moreover, the first and second branch portions Ta and Tb of the first to twelfth teeth T1 to T12 are referred to as first and second branch portions T1 a, T1 b to T12 a, T12 b.

As illustrated in FIG. 2, the 12 first to twelfth teeth T1 to T12 are formed in order in the clockwise direction at positions at an equal pitch (30° interval) in the circumferential direction with respect to the core back 7. At this time, the first to twelfth teeth T1 to T12 and the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are arranged by facing each other so that two each of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are faced with each of the first to twelfth teeth T1 to T12 in the radial direction.

Moreover, by forming the pairs of first and second branch portions T1 a, T1 b to T12 a, T12 b on the first to twelfth teeth T1 to T12, the 24 slots SL are formed on the armature core 6.

At this time, in the previous winding-wire winding processes 19 and 20, the second conductor W2 routed on the side opposite to the commutator between the slot numbers “14” to “4” is located inside the seventeenth winding wire C17 to be wound. Therefore, winding of the seventeenth winding wire C17 with the first conductor W1 does not present an obstacle.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 11B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 of the thirteenth winding wire C13 wound between the first branch portion T1 a and the second branch portion T2 b to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “2”.

Winding-wire Winding Process 25 (Slot: Fifteenth Winding Wire C15, Twenty-first Winding Wire C21)

As illustrated in FIG. 11A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 of the seventeenth winding wire C17 wound between the first branch portion T5 a and the second branch portion T6 b to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “10”.

At this time, in the previous winding-wire winding processes 19 and 20, the second conductor W2 routed on the side opposite to the commutator between the slot numbers “14” to “4” is located inside the fifteenth winding wire C15 to be wound. Therefore, winding of the fifteenth winding wire C15 with the first conductor W1 does not present an obstacle.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 11B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 of the twenty-third winding wire C23 wound between the first branch portion T11 a and the second branch portion T12 b to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “22”.

Winding-wire Winding Process 26 (Segment: S8, S20)

As illustrated in FIG. 11A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 wound between the first branch portion T3 a and the second branch portion T4 b to the commutator side through the slot SL with the slot number “6”. Subsequently, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 having been pulled out to the commutator side to the eighth segment S8 in the clockwise direction and hooks it on the riser R of the eighth segment S8. Then, the A flyer cuts off (disconnects) the first conductor W1 hooked by the riser R of the eighth segment S8.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 11B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 wound between the first branch portion T9 a and the second branch portion T10 b to the commutator side through the slot SL with the slot number “18”. Subsequently, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 having been pulled out to the commutator side to the twentieth segment S20 in the clockwise direction and hooks it on the riser R of the twentieth segment S20. Then, the B flyer cuts off (disconnects) the second conductor W2 hooked by the riser R of the twentieth segment S20.

As a result, the winding work of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 using the double-flyer winding machine composed of the A flyer and the B flyer is finished.

That is, until the first to twelfth winding wires C1 to C12 made of twelve concentrated winding wires and the thirteenth to twenty-fourth winding wires C13 to C24 made of twelve distributed winding wires have been wound, the A flyer and the B flyer have performed the winding work without disconnecting the first and second conductors W1 and W2 in the middle, respectively.

Winding-wire Winding Process 27 (Cut-off and Removal)

This cut-off and removal includes four cut-off and removal operations of an unnecessary portion between the concentrated winding wires wound with the first conductor W1, an unnecessary portion between the concentrated winding wires wound with the second conductor W2, an unnecessary portion between the distributed winding wires wound with the first conductor W1, and an unnecessary portion between the distributed winding wires wound with the second conductor W2.

(1) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Concentrated Winding Wires Wound with the First Conductor W1

The first conductor W1 is cut at two spots (both ends) indicated by cross marks, respectively, on the commutator side in FIGS. 8A and 9A. The two spots, that is, a portion extending to the slot SL with the slot number “11” from the riser R of the tenth segment S10 and a portion extending to the riser R of the sixteenth segment S16 from the slot SL with the slot number “21”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 6 to the winding-wire winding process 8, a portion of the first conductor W1 routed from the riser R of the tenth segment S10 to the riser R of the sixteenth segment S16 is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is left as it is, the second short-circuit wire L2 and the eighth short-circuit wire L8 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the commutator side are cut off, the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 between the two spots is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator. At this time, the portion extended and routed from the riser R of the tenth segment S10 to the slot SL with the slot number “11” (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the sixth winding wire C6 wound previously by the B flyer. Similarly, the portion extended and routed from the slot SL with the slot number “21” to the riser R of the sixteenth segment S16 (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the tenth winding wire C10 wound previously by the B flyer.

Thus, the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator without damaging the sixth winding wire C6 and the tenth winding wire C10 wound by the B flyer.

(2) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Concentrated Winding Wires Wound with the Second Conductor W2

The second conductor W2 is cut at two spots (both ends) indicated by cross marks, respectively, on the commutator side in FIGS. 8B and 9B. The two spots, that is, a portion extending to the slot SL with the slot number “23” from the riser R of the twenty-second segment S22 and a portion extending to the riser R of the fourth segment S4 from the slot SL with the slot number “9”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 6 to the winding-wire winding process 8, a portion of the second conductor W2 routed from the riser R of the twenty-second segment S22 to the riser R of the fourth segment S4 is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is left as it is, the sixth short-circuit wire L6 and the fourth short-circuit wire L4 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the commutator side are cut off, the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 between the two spots is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator. At this time, the portion extended and routed from the riser R of the twenty-second segment S22 to the slot SL with the slot number “23” (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the twelfth winding wire C12 wound previously by the A flyer. Similarly, the portion extended and routed from the slot SL with the slot number “9” to the riser R of the fourth segment S4 (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the fourth winding wire C4 wound previously by the A flyer.

Thus, the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator without damaging the twelfth winding wire C12 and the fourth winding wire C4 wound by the A flyer.

(3) Cut-off And Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Distributed Winding Wires Wound with the First Conductor W1

The first conductor W1 is cut at two spots (both ends) indicated by cross marks, respectively, on the commutator side in FIGS. 10A and 11A. The two spots, that is, a portion extending to the slot SL with the slot number “2” from the riser R of the sixth segment S6 and a portion extending to the riser R of the seventeenth segment S17 from the slot SL with the slot number “16”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 19 to the winding-wire winding process 21, a portion of the first conductor W1 routed from the riser R of the sixth segment S6 to the riser R of the seventeenth segment S17 is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is left as it is, the sixth short-circuit wire L6 and the first short-circuit wire L1 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the commutator side are cut off, the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 between the two spots is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator. At this time, the portion extended and routed from the riser R of the sixth segment S6 to the slot SL with the slot number “2” (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the twenty-fourth winding wire C24 wound previously by the A flyer. Similarly, the portion extended and routed from the slot SL with the slot number “16” to the riser R of the seventeenth segment S17 (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the twentieth winding wire C20 wound previously by the B flyer.

Thus, the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator without damaging the twenty-fourth winding wire C24 wound by the A flyer and the twentieth winding wire C20 wound by the B flyer.

(4) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Distributed Winding Wires Wound with the Second Conductor W2

The second conductor W2 is cut at two spots (both ends) indicated by cross marks, respectively, on the commutator side in FIGS. 10B and 11B. The two spots, that is, a portion extending to the slot SL with the slot number “14” from the riser R of the eighteenth segment S18 and a portion extending to the riser R of the fifth segment S5 from the slot SL with the slot number “4”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 19 to the winding-wire winding process 21, a portion of the second conductor W2 routed from the riser R of the eighteenth segment S18 to the riser R of the fifth segment S5 is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is left as it is, the second short-circuit wire L2 and the fifth short-circuit wire L5 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the commutator side are cut off, the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 between the two spots is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator. At this time, the portion extended and routed from the riser R of the eighteenth segment S18 to the slot SL with the slot number “14” (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the eighteenth winding wire C18 wound previously by the B flyer. Similarly, the portion extended and routed from the slot SL with the slot number “4” to the riser R of the fifth segment S5 (side portion of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is arranged on the outermost periphery of the fourteenth winding wire C14 wound previously by the A flyer.

Thus, the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is pulled out from the side opposite to the commutator without damaging the eighteenth winding wire C18 wound by the B flyer and the fourteenth winding wire C14 wound by the A flyer.

Then, when the four unnecessary portions are removed, the riser R is bent in a direction in which the portion where the winding end portions of the respective corresponding short-circuit wires and the winding wires and the like are hooked, is held. Subsequently, fusing is performed, and by this fusing, the riser R of each segment is joined and electrically connected with the winding end portion of each corresponding winding wire and the non-end portion of each corresponding short-circuit wire, respectively.

As a result, the armature 3 is produced.

Subsequently, an action of the above-described first embodiment will be described.

The double-flyer winding machine provided with the A flyer and the B flyer performs the winding-wire winding work in a state in which the A flyer and the B flyer are faced with each other at 180°. Thus, the A flyer and the B flyer do not collide against each other in the middle of the winding-wire winding work, and the winding-wire winding work of each share is performed, respectively.

The A and B flyers perform winding so that the 22 winding wires excluding the twelfth winding wire C12 and the sixth winding wire C6 at the winding start, having their start ends and terminal ends pulled out separately to the commutator side and the side opposite to the commutator. That is, the A and B flyers perform winding such that the start ends and the terminal ends of the 22 winding wires are pulled out separately in a direction getting closer to the commutator and in a direction away from the commutator. Then, the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires to be hooked by the risers R are hooked by the risers R other than the risers R by which the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires have been already hooked. Moreover, the conductors W1 and W2 between the distributed winding wires to be hooked by the riser R are also hooked by the risers R other than the risers R by which the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires and the conductors W1 and W2 between the distributed winding wires have been already hooked.

As a result, when the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 are to be wound, the number of times that the conductors W1 and W2 are hooked on the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 by the A flyer or the B flyer is once at the maximum.

Moreover, when the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are to be connected, the number of times that the conductors W1 and W2 are hooked on the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 by the A flyer or the B flyer is once at the maximum.

Therefore, the number of times that the conductors W1 and W2 are hooked on the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 is twice at the maximum. In other words, the conductors hooked by the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are the two conductors W1 and W2 at the maximum, which is an extremely small number. As a result, in fusing for electrically connecting the conductors W1 and W2 with the risers R performed in the subsequent process, insulation from the adjacent riser R can be ensured.

Moreover, when the winding work was performed by the A and B flyers until the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 had been wound, the unnecessary portions of the first and second conductors W1 and W2 were cut off and removed, respectively. Thus, the winding-wire winding work time can be reduced. By cutting off both ends of the unnecessary portions of the conductors W1 and W2 on the commutator side and by pulling out the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 on the side opposite to the commutator, the unnecessary portions of the conductors W1 and W2 can be removed.

At this time, the conductors W1 and W2 were routed so that both side portions of the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are arranged on the outermost periphery of the winding wires. Thus, when the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are to be pulled out to the side opposite to the commutator, pulling-out can be made smoothly without damaging the winding wires.

Subsequently, advantages of the above-described first embodiment will be described below.

(1) According to this embodiment, the number of hooked conductors W1 and W2 hooked by the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments 51 to S24 can be reduced, and insulation from the adjacent riser R can be ensured.

(2) According to this embodiment, the winding work was performed by the A and B flyers until all the winding wires C1 to C24 had been wound and then, the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 were cut off and removed, respectively. Thus, the tact number can be reduced, and the winding-wire winding work time can be reduced.

(3) According to this embodiment, the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are arranged on the outermost periphery of the winding wires. Thus, by cutting off the both ends of the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 on the commutator side and by pulling out the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 on the side opposite to the commutator, puling-out can be done smoothly without damaging the winding wires.

The above-described first embodiment can be changed as follows:

In the first embodiment, fusing was performed after the winding-wire winding process 27 for cutting off and removing the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2. Instead of this, the winding-wire winding process 27 for cutting off and removing the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 may be performed after fusing.

Moreover, in the first embodiment, the number of teeth T is set to 12, but this is not limiting, and the number of teeth T may be changed as appropriate.

Subsequently, a second embodiment will be described. The second embodiment is different from the first embodiment in the winding method of the winding wire. Thus, in the second embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the winding method of the winding wire will be described.

Winding-wire Winding Process 20 (Slot: Slot Number “4”, Slot Number “16”)

As illustrated in FIG. 14A, the A flyer routes the first conductor W1 hooked on the riser R of the sixth segment S6 to the slot SL with the slot number “4” in the counterclockwise direction and pulls it out to the side opposite to the commutator from the commutator side through the slot SL with the slot number “4”.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 14B, the B flyer routes the second conductor W2 hooked on the riser R of the eighteenth segment S18 to the slot SL with the slot number “16” in the counterclockwise direction and pulls it out to the side opposite to the commutator from the commutator side through the slot SL with the slot number “16”.

Winding-wire Winding Process 21 (Slot: Slot Number “18”, Slot Number “6”)

As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the A flyer routes the first conductor W1 having been pulled out to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “4” to the slot SL with the slot number “18” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 having been routed to the slot SL with the slot number “18” to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “18”.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 15B, the B flyer routes the second conductor W2 having been pulled out to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “16” to the slot SL with the slot number “6” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 having been routed to the slot SL with the slot number “6” to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “6”.

Winding-wire Winding Process 22 (Segment: S17, S5)

As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 having been pulled out to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “17” to the closest seventeenth segment S17 and hooks it on the riser R of the seventeenth segment S17.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 15B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 having been pulled out to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “6” to the closest fifth segment S5 and hooks it on the riser R of the fifth segment S5.

Winding-wire Winding Process 23 (Slot: Nineteenth Winding Wire C19, Thirteenth Winding Wire C13)

As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the A flyer routes the first conductor W1 hooked on the riser R of the seventeenth segment S17 to the slot SL with the slot number “16” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the A flyer winds the nineteenth winding wire C19 in the reverse winding direction with the routed first conductor W1 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “16” and “14”, that is, between the first branch portion T7 a of the seventh tooth T7 and the second branch portion T8 b of the eighth tooth T8.

When the nineteenth winding wire C19 is wound, the second conductor W2 has been pulled out by the B flyer from the commutator side to the side opposite to the commutator at the slot SL with the slot number “16” in the preceding winding-wire winding process 20. Therefore, the nineteenth winding wire C19 is wound so that the second conductor W2 previously passing through the slot SL with the slot number “16” is embedded inside in the radial direction.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 15B, the B flyer routes the second conductor W2 hooked on the riser R of the fifth segment S5 to the slot SL with the slot number “4” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the B flyer winds the thirteenth winding wire C13 in the reverse winding direction with the routed second conductor W2 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “4” and “2”, that is, between the first branch portion T1 a of the first tooth T1 and the second branch portion T2 b of the second tooth T2.

When the thirteenth winding wire C13 is wound, the first conductor W1 has been pulled out by the A flyer from the commutator side to the side opposite to the commutator at the slot SL with the slot number “4” in the preceding winding-wire winding process 20. Therefore, the thirteenth winding wire C13 is wound so that the first conductor W1 previously passing through the slot SL with the slot number “4” is embedded inside in the radial direction.

Winding-wire Winding Process 24 (Slot: Seventeenth Winding Wire C17, Twenty-third Winding Wire C23)

As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 of the nineteenth winding wire C19 wound between the first branch portion T7 a and the second branch portion T8 b to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “14”. Subsequently, the A flyer routes the first conductor W1 having been pulled out to the commutator side to the slot SL with the slot number “10” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the A flyer winds the seventeenth winding wire C17 in the forward winding direction with the routed first conductor W1 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “10” and “12”, that is, between the first branch portion T5 a of the fifth tooth T5 and the second branch portion T6 b of the sixth tooth T6.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 15B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 of the thirteenth winding wire C13 wound between the first branch portion T1 a and the second branch portion T2 b to the commutator side from the slot SL with the slot number “2”. Subsequently, the B flyer routes the second conductor W2 having been pulled out to the commutator side to the slot SL with the slot number “22” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the B flyer winds the twenty-third winding wire C23 in the forward winding direction with the routed second conductor W2 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “22” and “24”, that is, between the first branch portion T11 a of the eleventh tooth T11 and the second branch portion T12 b of the twelfth tooth T12.

Winding-wire Winding Process 25 (Slot: Fifteenth Winding Wire C15, Twenty-first Winding Wire C21)

As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 of the seventeenth winding wire C17 wound between the first branch portion T5 a and the second branch portion T6 b to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “10”. Subsequently, the A flyer routes the first conductor W1 having been pulled out to the side opposite to the commutator to the slot SL with the slot number “6” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the A flyer winds the fifteenth winding wire C15 in the reverse winding direction with the routed first conductor W1 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “6” and “8”, that is, between the first branch portion T3 a of the third tooth T3 and the second branch portion T4 b of the fourth tooth T4.

When the fifteenth winding wire C15 is wound, the second conductor W2 has been pulled out by the B flyer from the side opposite to the commutator to the commutator side at the slot SL with the slot number “6” in the preceding winding-wire winding process 21. Therefore, the fifteenth winding wire C15 is wound so that the second conductor W2 previously passing through the slot SL with the slot number “6” is embedded inside in the radial direction.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 15B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 of the twenty-third winding wire C23 wound between the first branch portion T11 a and the second branch portion T12 b to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “22”. Subsequently, the B flyer routes the second conductor W2 having been pulled out to the side opposite to the commutator to the slot SL with the slot number “18” in the counterclockwise direction. Then, the B flyer winds the twenty-first winding wire C21 in the reverse winding direction with the routed second conductor W2 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “18” and “20”, that is, between the first branch portion T9 a of the ninth tooth T9 and the second branch portion T10 b of the tenth tooth T10.

When the twenty-first winding wire C21 is wound, the first conductor W1 has been pulled out by the A flyer from the side opposite to the commutator to the commutator side at the slot SL with the slot number “18” in the preceding winding-wire winding process 21. Therefore, the twenty-first winding wire C21 is wound so that the first conductor W1 previously passing through the slot SL with the slot number “18” is embedded inside in the radial direction.

Winding-wire Winding Process 26 (Segment: S8, S20)

As illustrated in FIG. 15A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 wound between the first branch portion T3 a and the second branch portion T4 b to the commutator side through the slot SL with the slot number “6”. Subsequently, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 having been pulled out to the commutator side to the eighth segment S8 in the clockwise direction and hooks it on the riser R of the eighth segment S8. Then, the A flyer cuts off (disconnects) the first conductor W1 hooked by the riser R of the eighth segment S8.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 15B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 wound between the first branch portion T9 a and the second branch portion T10 b to the commutator side through the slot SL with the slot number “18”. Subsequently, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 having been pulled out to the commutator side to the twentieth segment S20 in the clockwise direction and hooks it on the riser R of the twentieth segment S20. Then, the B flyer cuts off (disconnects) the second conductor W2 hooked by the riser R of the twentieth segment S20.

As a result, the winding work of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 using the double-flyer winding machine composed of the A flyer and the B flyer is finished.

That is, until the first to twelfth winding wires C1 to C12 made of twelve concentrated winding wires and the thirteenth to twenty-fourth winding wires C13 to C24 made of twelve distributed winding wires have been wound, the A flyer and the B flyer have performed the winding work without disconnecting the first and second conductors W1 and W2 in the middle, respectively.

Winding-wire Winding Process 27 (Cut-off and Removal)

This cut-off and removal includes four cut-off and removal operations of an unnecessary portion between the concentrated winding wires wound with the first conductor W1, an unnecessary portion between the concentrated winding wires wound with the second conductor W2, an unnecessary portion between the distributed winding wires wound with the first conductor W1, and an unnecessary portion between the distributed winding wires wound with the second conductor W2.

(1) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Concentrated Winding Wires Wound with the First Conductor W1

The first conductor W1 is cut at two spots indicated by cross marks on the side opposite to the commutator in FIGS. 12A and 13A, respectively. The two spots, that is, a portion pulled out from the slot SL with the slot number “9” and a portion pulled into the slot SL with the slot number “19”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 7 to the winding-wire winding process 8, a portion of the first conductor W1 routed from the slot SL with the slot number “9” to the slot SL with the slot number “19” is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is left as it is, the second short-circuit wire L2 and the eighth short-circuit wire L8 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the side opposite to the commutator are cut off, the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 between the two spots is removed from the side opposite to the commutator.

At this time, the first conductor W1 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “9” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the fifth winding wire C5 wound by the B flyer in the winding-wire winding process 12. Moreover, the first conductor W1 pulled out from the riser R of the tenth segment S10 to the slot SL with the slot number “9” is wound by one turn around the closest inner winding portion T6 c as the sixth winding wire C6 before being hooked by the riser R of the tenth segment S10. Therefore, the first conductor W1 hooked by the riser R of the tenth segment S10 is hooked by the riser R between the sixth winding wire C6 and the fifth winding wire C5 without loosening.

Similarly, the first conductor W1 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “19” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the ninth winding wire C9 wound by the A flyer in the winding-wire winding process 11.

Thus, even if the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is cut off and removed, the wound winding wire does not become loose or unwound.

(2) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Concentrated Winding Wires Wound with the Second Conductor W2

The second conductor W2 is cut at two spots indicated by cross marks on the side opposite to the commutator in FIGS. 12B and 13B. The two spots, that is, a portion pulled out from the slot SL with the slot number “21” and a portion pulled into the slot SL with the slot number “7”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 7 to the winding-wire winding process 8, a portion of the second conductor W2 routed from the slot SL with the slot number “21” to the slot SL with the slot number “7” is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is left as it is, the sixth short-circuit wire L6 and the fourth short-circuit wire L4 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the side opposite the commutator are cut off, the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 between the two spots is removed from the side opposite to the commutator.

At this time, the second conductor W2 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “21” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the eleventh winding wire C11 wound by the A flyer in the winding-wire winding process 12. Moreover, the second conductor W2 pulled out from the riser R of the twenty-second segment S22 to the slot SL with the slot number “21” is wound by one turn around the closest inner winding portion T12 c as the twelfth winding wire C12 before being hooked by the riser R of the twenty-second segment S22. Therefore, the second conductor W2 hooked by the riser R of the twenty-second segment S22 is hooked by the riser R between the twelfth winding wire C12 and the eleventh winding wire C11 without loosening.

Similarly, the second conductor W2 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “7” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the third winding wire C3 wound by the B flyer in the winding-wire winding process 11.

Thus, even if the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is cut off and removed, the wound winding wire does not become loose or unwound.

(3) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Distributed Winding Wires Wound with the First Conductor W1

The first conductor W1 is cut at two spots indicated by cross marks on the side opposite to the commutator in FIGS. 14A and 15A, respectively. The two spots, that is, a portion pulled out from the slot SL with the slot number “4” and a portion pulled into the slot SL with the slot number “18”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 20 to the winding-wire winding process 21, a portion of the first conductor W1 routed from the slot SL with the slot number “4” to the slot SL with the slot number “18” is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is left as it is, the sixth short-circuit wire L6 and the first short-circuit wire L1 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the side opposite to the commutator are cut off, the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 between the two spots is removed from the side opposite to the commutator. At this time, the first conductor W1 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “4” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the thirteenth winding wire C13 wound by the B flyer in the winding-wire winding process 23. Similarly, the first conductor W1 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “18” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the twenty-first winding wire C21 wound by the B flyer in the winding-wire winding process 25.

Thus, even if the unnecessary portion of first conductor W1 is cut off and removed, the wound winding wire does not become loose or unwound.

(4) Cut-off and Removal of Unnecessary Portion Between Distributed Winding Wires Wound with the Second Conductor W2

The second conductor W2 is cut at two spots indicated by cross marks on the side opposite to the commutator in FIGS. 14B and 15B, respectively. The two spots, that is, a portion pulled out from the slot SL with the slot number “16” and a portion pulled into the slot SL with the slot number “6”, are cut.

That is because, in the winding-wire winding process 20 to the winding-wire winding process 21, a portion of the second conductor W2 routed from the slot SL with the slot number “16” to the slot SL with the slot number “6” is the unnecessary portion. That is, if the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is left as it is, the second short-circuit wire L2 and the fifth short-circuit wire L5 are brought into an electrically short-circuited state. Thus, they need to be cut off and removed as unnecessary portions in order to prevent the above-described short-circuited state.

Then, after the two spots on the side opposite to the commutator are cut off, the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 between the two spots is removed from the side opposite to the commutator.

At this time, the second conductor W2 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “16” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the nineteenth winding wire C19 wound by the A flyer in the winding-wire winding process 23. Similarly, the second conductor W2 remaining on the side of the slot SL with the slot number “6” after cutting (side part of the unnecessary portion of conductor) is embedded and held inside in the radial direction of the fifteenth winding wire C15 wound by the A flyer in the winding-wire winding process 25.

Thus, even if the unnecessary portion of second conductor W2 is cut off and removed, the wound winding wire does not become loose or unwound.

Then, when the four unnecessary portions are removed, the riser R is bent in a direction in which the portion where the winding end portions of the respective corresponding short-circuit wires and the winding wires and the like are hooked is held. Subsequently, fusing is performed, and by this fusing, the riser R of each segment is joined and electrically connected with the winding end portion of each corresponding winding wire and the non-end portion of each corresponding short-circuit wire, respectively.

As a result, the armature 3 is produced.

Subsequently, an action of the above-described second embodiment will be described.

Similarly to the first embodiment, the wiring-wire winding work in each share is performed without collision between the A flyer and the B flyer. At this time, similarly to the first embodiment, the 22 winding wires excluding the twelfth winding wire C12 and the sixth winding wire C6 at the winding start are wound such that their start ends and terminal ends are pulled out separately to the commutator side and the side opposite to the commutator. That is, the A and B flyers perform winding such that the start ends and the terminal ends of the 22 winding wires are pulled out separately in the direction getting closer to the commutator and in the direction away from the commutator.

Then, the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires to be hooked by the risers R are hooked by the risers R other than the risers R by which the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires have been already hooked. Moreover, the conductors W1 and W2 between the distributed winding wires to be hooked by the risers R are also hooked by the risers R other than the risers R by which the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires and the conductors W1 and W2 between the distributed winding wires have been already hooked.

As a result, similarly to the first embodiment, the conductors hooked by the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are two conductors W1 and W2 including the short-circuit wires at the maximum, which is an extremely small number. As a result, in fusing for electrically connecting the conductors W1 and W2 to the risers R in the subsequent process, insulation from the adjacent riser R can be ensured.

Moreover, after the winding work is performed by the A and B flyers until the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 have been wound, the unnecessary portions of the first and second conductors W1 and W2 were cut off and removed, respectively. Thus, the winding-wire winding work time can be reduced. By cutting off both the ends of the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 on the side opposite to the commutator and by pulling out the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 on the side opposite to the commutator, the unnecessary portions of W1 and W2 can be removed.

At this time, the portions of conductors W1 and W2 remaining in the slot SL after the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are cut off are embedded and held inside in the radial direction in the winding wire wound in the slot SL. Thus, even if the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are cut off and removed, the wound winding wire does not become loose or unwound.

Subsequently, advantages of the above-described second embodiment will be described below.

(4) According to this embodiment, the number of hooked conductors W1 and W2 hooked by the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments 51 to S24 can be reduced, and insulation from the adjacent riser R can be ensured.

(5) According to this embodiment, the winding work was performed by the A and B flyers until all the winding wires C1 to C24 had been wound and then, the unnecessary portions of the first and second conductors W1 and W2 were cut off and removed, respectively. Thus, the tact number can be reduced, and the winding-wire winding work time can be reduced.

(6) According to this embodiment, the portions of conductors W1 and W2 remaining in the slot SL after the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are cut off are embedded and held inside in the radial direction in the winding wire wound in the slot SL. Thus, even if the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 are cut off and removed, the wound winding wire does not become loose or unwound.

The above-described second embodiment can be changed as follows:

In the second embodiment, similarly to the first embodiment, fusing was performed after the winding-wire winding process 27 for cutting off and removing the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2. Instead of this, the winding-wire winding process 27 for cutting off and removing the unnecessary portions of conductors W1 and W2 may be performed after fusing.

In the second embodiment, too, similarly, the number of teeth T is set to 12, but this is not limiting, and the number of teeth T may be changed as appropriate.

(Third Embodiment)

Subsequently, a third embodiment will be described. The third embodiment is different from the first and second embodiments in the winding method of the winding wire. Thus, in the third embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the winding method of the winding wire will be described.

In the third embodiment, the winding of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 will be described in accordance with a winding-wire winding process table illustrated in the following Table 4 and winding explanatory views illustrated in FIGS. 16 to 19.

Disconnection Disconnection

In the third embodiment, as is obvious from the process table illustrated in Table 4 and the winding explanatory views illustrated in FIGS. 16 to 19, this is a method of winding one of the winding wires and another of the winding wires arranged at positions faced with each other at 180° at the same time, and the double-flyer winding machine (A flyer and B flyer) same as above is used.

Winding-wire Winding Process 1 (Segment: S1, S13)

As illustrated in FIG. 16A, the A flyer hooks the start end portion of the first conductor W1 by the riser R of the first segment S1.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 16B, the B flyer hooks the start end portion of the second conductor W2 by the riser R of the thirteenth segment S13.

Winding-wire Winding Process 2 (Slot: First Winding Wire C1, Seventh Winding Wire C7)

As illustrated in FIG. 16A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 hooked by the riser R of the first segment S1 to the slot SL with the closest slot number “1”. Then, the A flyer winds the winding wire for the first winding wire C1 in the forward winding direction around the inner winding portion T1 c of the first tooth T1 with the pulled out first conductor W1 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “1” and “3”.

That is, the number of turns of the first conductor W1 by the A flyer around the inner winding portion T1 c of this first tooth T1 is a half of the number of turns of the first winding wire C1 to be wound around the inner winding portion T1 c. By winding the remaining half of the number of turns with the second conductor W2 by the B flyer in the forward winding direction in the subsequent process (winding-wire winding process 7), the first winding wire C1 in the forward winding direction around the inner winding portion T1 c is completed.

On the other hand, as illustrated in FIG. 16B, the B flyer pulls out the second conductor W2 hooked by the riser R of the thirteenth segment S13 to the closest slot SL with the slot number “13”. Then, the B flyer winds a winding wire for the seventh winding wire C7 in the forward winding direction around the inner winding portion T7 c of the seventh tooth T7 with the pulled out second conductor W2 between the slots SL with the slot numbers “13” and “15”.

That is, the number of turns of the second conductor W2 by the B flyer around the inner winding portion T7 c of this seventh tooth T7 is a half of the number of turns of the seventh winding wire C7 to be wound around the inner winding portion T7 c. By winding the remaining half of the number of turns with the first conductor W1 by the A flyer in the subsequent process (winding-wire winding process 7) in the forward winding direction, the seventh winding wire C7 in the forward winding direction around the inner winding portion T7 c is completed.

Winding-wire Winding Process 44 (Slot: Slot Number “24”, Slot Number “12”)

As illustrated in FIG. 19A, the A flyer pulls out the first conductor W1 having wound the twenty-second winding wire C22 to the side opposite to the commutator from the slot SL with the slot number “20” and routes the pulled-out first conductor W1 in the clockwise direction to the slot SL with the slot number “24”.

Winding-wire Winding Process 46 (Disconnection)

The A flyer cuts off (disconnects) the first conductor W1 hooked by the riser R of the twenty-fourth segment S24.

The B flyer cuts off (disconnects) the second conductor W2 hooked by the riser R of the twelfth segment S12.

As a result, the winding work of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 using the double-flyer winding machine composed of the A flyer and the B flyer is finished.

Subsequently, each of the risers R is bent in a direction in which the portion where the respective corresponding short-circuit wires and the winding wires are hooked is held. Subsequently, fusing is performed, and by this fusing, the riser R of each segment is joined and electrically connected to each of the corresponding winding wires and short-circuit wires, respectively.

As a result, the armature 3 is produced.

Subsequently, an action of the above-described third embodiment will be described.

First, the A flyer and the B flyer share winding of all the 12 first to twelfth winding wires C1 to C12 in the concentrated winding, respectively. When the 12 first to twelfth winding wires C1 to C12 are wound, the A flyer and the B flyer similarly share winding of all the 12 thirteenth to twenty-fourth winding wires C13 to C24 in the distributed winding, respectively.

Then, the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires to be hooked by the risers are hooked by the risers R other than the risers R by which the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires have been already hooked. Moreover, the conductors W1 and W2 between the distributed winding wires to be hooked by the risers R are hooked by the risers R other than the risers R by which the conductors W1 and W2 between the concentrated winding wires and the conductors W1 and W2 between the distributed winding wires have been already hooked.

As a result, the conductors hooked by the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 are two conductors W1 and W2 including the short-circuit wires at the maximum, which is an extremely small number. As a result, in fusing for electrically connecting the conductors W1 and W2 with the risers R performed in the subsequent process, insulation from the adjacent riser R can be ensured.

Subsequently, advantages of the above-described third embodiment will be described below.

(7) According to this embodiment, the number of conductors W1 and W2 hooked by the risers R of the first to twenty-fourth segments S1 to S24 can be reduced, and insulation from the adjacent riser R can be ensured.

The above-described third embodiment may be changed as follows:

In the third embodiment, the number of poles of the magnetic poles (magnets) provided in the stator 2 is set to 6, the number of slots to 24, and the number of segments to 24. Instead of this, the present invention may be applied to an armature having a ratio of the number of magnetic poles:number of slots:number of segments being 1:4:4.

Moreover, in the first to third embodiments, the present invention is embodied in the DC motor 1 provided with the anode-side brush B1 and the cathode-side brush B2 one each, but the present invention may be embodied in the DC motor provided with the anode-side brush B1 and the cathode-side brush B2, respectively, in plural.

(Fourth Embodiment)

Subsequently, a fourth embodiment will be described. The fourth embodiment is different form the first embodiment in the winding method of the winding wire. Thus, in the fourth embodiment, for convenience of explanation, the winding method of the winding wire will be described.

In this embodiment, regarding the first to twelfth winding wires C1 to C12 in the concentrated winding, eight winding wires, that is, the first to fourth and the seventh to tenth winding wires C1 to C4 and C7 to C10 are wound in the forward winding. On the other hand, four winding wires, that is, the fifth, the sixth, the eleventh, and the twelfth winding wires C5, C6, C11 and C12 are wound in the reverse winding.

On the other hand, regarding the thirteenth to twenty-fourth winding wires C13 to C24 in the distributed winding, eight winding wires, that is, the thirteenth to fifteenth, the eighteenth to twenty-first, and the twenty-fourth winding wires C13 to C15, C18 to C21, and C24 are wound in the forward winding. On the other hand, four winding wires, that is, the sixteenth, the seventeenth, the twenty-second, and the twenty-third winding wires C16, C17, C22 and C23 are wound in the reverse winding.

(Riser Bending Process)

Subsequent to the short-circuit wire connecting process described in the first embodiment, a riser bending process for bending the risers of the segments by which the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 connected in the short-circuit wire connecting process are hooked is performed.

This riser bending process for bending the riser is a work of bending the risers of the segments by which the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked.

In more detail, the risers R of the first and ninth segments S1 and S9 excluding the riser R of the seventeenth segment S17 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the first short-circuit wire L1 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the tenth and eighteenth segments S10 and S18 excluding the riser R of the second segment S2 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the second short-circuit wire L2 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the nineteenth and third segments S19 and S3 excluding the riser R of the eleventh segment S11 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the third short-circuit wire L3 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the second and twelfth segments S2 and S12 excluding the riser R of the twentieth segment S20 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the fourth short-circuit wire L4 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the thirteenth and twenty-first segments S13 and S21 excluding the riser R of the fifth segment S5 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the fifth short-circuit wire L5 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the twenty-second and sixth segments S22 and S6 excluding the riser R of the fourteenth segment S14 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the sixth short-circuit wire L6 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the seventh and fifteenth segments S7 and S15 excluding the riser R of the twenty-third segment S23 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the seventh short-circuit wire L7 are hooked are held.

The risers R of the sixteenth and twenty-fourth segments S16 and S24 excluding the riser R of the eighth segment S8 are bent in a direction in which the portions where the start end portion and the terminal end portion of the eighth short-circuit wire L8 are hooked are held.

As a result, the risers R of the eight segments, that is, the second, the fifth, the eighth, the eleventh, the fourteenth, the seventeenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-third segments S2, S5, S8, S11, S14, S17, S20, and S23 are left unbent.

That is, the winding work of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 which will be performed subsequently by using the risers R of the eight segments S2, S5, S8, S11, S14, S17, S20, and S23 which are left unbent is started.

(Winding-wire Winding Process)

When the riser bending process is completed, the winding work of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 is started.

Here, the winding of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 will be described in accordance with a winding-wire winding process table illustrated in Table 5 below and the winding diagrams illustrated in FIGS. 20 to 31.

As a result, the winding work of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 using the double-flyer winding machine composed of the A flyer and the B flyer is finished.

Lastly, the risers R of the segments on which the start end portions (winding end portions) and the terminal end portions (winding end portions) of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 are hooked are bent, and the fusing process is performed.

That is, the risers R of the eight segments, that is, the second, the fifth, the eighth, the eleventh, the fourteenth, the seventeenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-third segments S2, S5, S8, S11, S14, S17, S20, and S23 are bent in the direction in which the portions where the winding end portions of the respective corresponding winding wires are hooked are held. Subsequently, fusing is performed, and the risers R of the eight segments are joined and electrically connected to the winding end portion of each of the corresponding winding wires together with the non-end portion of each of the short-circuit wires by this fusing.

As a result, the armature 3 is produced.

Subsequently, an action of the above-described fourth embodiment will be described.

The first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are routed in the counterclockwise direction from the risers R of the segments by which the start end portions are hooked, and the terminal end portions are hooked by the risers R of the respective corresponding segments spaced away by 240°. At this time, regarding the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8, the non-end portions are hooked on the risers R of the segments spaced away by 120° in the counterclockwise direction from the segments on which the start end portions are hooked when being routed in the counterclockwise direction and then, the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are routed to and hooked on the segments on which the terminal end portions spaced away by 120° in the counterclockwise direction are hooked.

Then, each of the risers R by which the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked is bent. On the other hand, each of the risers R on which the non-end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked is left unbent and used as a winding end portion of the winding wire. As a result, the hooking portions of the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are not affected by hooking of the winding end portions of the winding wires. Thus, when the winding wire is wound, the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 do not become loose.

Moreover, since each of the risers R by which the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked is bent, there is no more riser R which presents an obstacle when the winding wire is wound, and the winding work becomes easy.

Subsequently, advantages of the above-described fourth embodiment will be described below.

(8) According to this embodiment, the winding end portions of the winding wires are hooked by the risers R of the eight segments, that is, the second, the fifth, the eighth, the eleventh, the fourteenth, the seventeenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-third segments S2, S5, S8, S11, S14, S17, S20, and S23 on which the non-end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked, and the winding wires are wound. Therefore, the hooked portions of the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are not affected by hooking of the winding end portions of the winding wires. As a result, there is no concern that the hooked portions of the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 become loose.

(9) According to this embodiment, arrangement is made such that the risers R of the second, the fifth, the eighth, the eleventh, the fourteenth, the seventeenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-third segments S2, S5, S8, S11, S14, S17, S20, and S23 on which the non-end portions are hooked, that is, the risers R of the segments used for winding of the winding wires are not adjacent to each other in the circumferential direction. Moreover, in the riser bending process, all the risers R except the risers R used for winding of the winding wires are bent. Therefore, when the winding end portions of the winding wires are to be hooked on the risers R, since the risers R not used for winding of the winding wires have been bent, there is no more riser R which presents an obstacle, and the winding of the winding wires can be performed easily and accurately.

(10) According to this embodiment, the double-flyer winding machine is used, and connecting of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 is shared by the A flyer and the B flyer of the double-flyer winding machine. Thus, time for the connecting work can be reduced.

(11) According to this embodiment, the double-flyer winding machine is used, and winding of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 is shared by the A flyer and the B flyer of the double-flyer winding machine. Thus, time for the winding work can be reduced.

The fourth embodiment may be changed as follows:

In the above-described fourth embodiment, the number of poles of the magnetic poles (magnets) provided in the stator 2 is set to 6, the number of slots to 24, and the number of segments to 24, but this may be changed as appropriate. The present invention may be applied to a DC motor having an armature with the number of magnetic poles being 4, the number of slots being 18, and the number of segments being 18, for example.

In this case, as illustrated in FIGS. 32 and 33, nine short-circuit wires, that is, the first to ninth short-circuit wires L1 to L9 are provided for the commutator 5 having 18 segments, that is, the first to eighteenth segments S1 to S18. Then, with the two segments faced with each other by 180° forming a set, the short-circuit wire is assigned to each of the nine sets.

The connecting method of the short-circuit wires of each set is performed as illustrated in FIG. 33, for example. The start end portion of the first short-circuit wire L1 is hooked by the riser R of the first segment S1 for the set of the first segment S1 and the tenth segment S10. After that, the first short-circuit wire L1 is routed in the counterclockwise direction to the tenth segment S10 spaced away in the circumferential direction by 180° and crossed and hooked on the riser R of the tenth segment S10. Then, the first short-circuit wire L1 hooked on the riser R of the tenth segment S10 is routed in the counterclockwise direction to the preceding first segment S1 and hooked by the riser R of the first segment S1. As a result, the first short-circuit wire L1 is formed.

Then, by performing the subsequent wiring with the similar method, the first to ninth short-circuit wires L1 to L9 are provided on the commutator 5.

When the first to ninth short-circuit wires L1 to L9 are to be wired, the segments on which the non-end portions of the first to ninth short-circuit wires L1 to L9 are crossed and hooked are arranged away from each other with the two segments between them.

In the above-described fourth embodiment, the armature 3 of the DC motor 1 has a plurality of teeth T. Each of the teeth T is provided with the first and second branch portions Ta and Tb located at distal end portions of the inner winding portions Tc. Instead of this, the present invention may be applied to the armature 3 in which each of the teeth T is not provided with the first and second branch portions Ta and Tb.

In the above-described fourth embodiment, the present invention is embodied in the DC motor 1 provided with the anode-side brush B1 and the cathode-side brush B2 one each, but the present invention may be embodied in the DC motor provided with the anode-side brush B1 and the cathode-side brush B2 in plural, respectively.

In the above-described fourth embodiment, the connection of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 and the winding of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 are performed by the double flyer composed of the A flyer and the B flyer. Instead of this, the connection of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 and the winding of the first to twenty-fourth winding wires C1 to C24 may be performed by one flyer.

In the above-described fourth embodiment, the risers R of the segments on which the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked are bent in the riser bending process and then, the winding-wire winding process is started. Instead of the riser bending process, the risers R of the segments on which the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 are hooked may be bent (crimped) before starting the winding-wire winding process and together with the fusing process.

It is needless to say that fusing between the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the first to eighth short-circuit wires L1 to L8 and the risers R of the segments may be performed in the fusing process in which the risers R of the second, the fifth, the eighth, the eleventh, the fourteenth, the seventeenth, the twentieth, and the twenty-third segments S2, S5, S8, S11, S14, S17, S20, and S23 and the start end portions and the terminal end portions of the winding wires are fused.
